So, I've been on this site for a while on and off. But one thing I was wondering is, are mafia games a thing? What I'm referring to are the forum-based mafia games where, at their core, it's the mafia vs the village. Or sometimes they're called Assassin's game and there's a killer vs a village.

They can usually follow different themes (I've been involved in one that was Assassin's Creed themed in that there was a Townsfolk faction, Templar faction and an Assassin's faction.) but the premise is ultimately the same: one faction tries to win out over the other and there are nightly vote-offs of lynchings that happen to players involved.

- Historical
- Modern Slice of Life
- Most fan RP's that use pre-existing/canon characters.

But that's actually the perfect place to open one o.o That's where most of those games are held on other sites. You can also probably create it into a chat roleplay. And they're called Day/Night games because they can be literally anything but with the same concept: players get voted off/killed during the night by a group/faction. Even if you reach the post limit you can simply create another part and continue.

If you're going to do it full roleplay style, you can do it in the genre sections too. O_O We've had people run those kind of roleplays before.

I think I'd stray away from giving it a full RP style. I don't like the idea of players creating a character for them as it stands right now. By assigning archetypes/characters from the theme to them, it saves them from having to make a character and saves me from having to wait on them make a character and then approve it.

This has been a LOT of help! I'm so glad to learn that others have in fact done this kind of thing on here before. Now, it's time to search and see if I can find a set-up guide for it.
